Well, sorta legit. To me, running a marathon means running in a race, which would be almost impossible, since nobody holds marathons M-F, only S and S. Still, he beat the previous guy, who only had 52, by a bazillion, so that's impressive. It said he ran about 4 1/2 hours a day. If he ran a real 26.2 in 4:30 every day for a year, that would be amazing. That's not real fast, at 10:30 per mile pace, but every day!? Even at my best, 183.4 miles per week of running is way beyond my ability. Let's hear it for Belgian beer! (Can you say 11.3%?)
